Intelligently compress PNG files while preserving transparency and high quality
Click or drag to upload PNG files
Supports multiple files, max 10MB each
Compression Features
- • Smart Compression: Automatically optimize PNG file size while maintaining image quality
- • Transparency Preservation: Perfectly retain PNG's alpha channel
- • Three Compression Levels: Light, medium, and heavy compression options
- • Size Control: Set maximum width and height for further file reduction
- • Format Conversion: Optional conversion to JPG or WebP for better compression ratios
- • Batch Processing: Compress multiple PNG files simultaneously
- • Quality Preview: Before and after comparison to ensure satisfactory results
- • All processing is done locally in your browser to protect your file privacy
💡 PNG Compression Tips
Optimal Compression Results
- • For photo-like images, convert to JPG format
- • For icons and logos, keep PNG format
- • Set appropriate size limits (recommended under 1200px)
- • Use light compression for simple graphics, medium for complex images
Quality Balance
- • Light compression: Suitable for high-quality requirements
- • Medium compression: Suitable for web usage
- • Heavy compression: Suitable for thumbnails
- • Keep PNG format when transparency is needed
🎨 PNG Special Processing
Transparent Background Images
- • Keep PNG format to maintain transparency
- • Use "Optimize PNG" option for better compression
- • Avoid converting to JPG (will lose transparency)
Solid Background Images
- • Consider converting to JPG for smaller files
- • Or use WebP for best compression ratio
- • Keep PNG format for simple graphics

- • Use case: High quality requirements
- • Scenarios: Print, design drafts
Medium Compression
- • Quality: 75%
- • Compression: 40-60%
- • Use case: Web usage
- • Scenarios: Websites, blogs
Heavy Compression
- • Quality: 60%
- • Compression: 60-80%
- • Use case: Fast loading
- • Scenarios: Thumbnails, previews
🔄 Format Conversion Recommendations
| Image Type | Recommended Format | Compression Effect | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Icons/Logos | PNG | Moderate | Maintains transparency, sharp edges |
| Screenshots/UI | PNG → WebP | Very Good | Clear text, smaller files |
| Photos/Complex Images | PNG → JPG | Excellent | Dramatically reduces file size |
| Modern Browsers | PNG → WebP | Best | Latest format, optimal compression |
⚙️ PNG Compression Technology
Lossless Compression Technology:
- • Color Optimization: Reduce unnecessary colors in the palette
- • Data Reorganization: Optimize PNG internal data structure
- • Algorithm Optimization: Use more efficient compression algorithms
- • Metadata Cleanup: Remove unnecessary file information
Size Optimization:
- • Smart Scaling: Proportionally reduce image dimensions
- • Maintain Aspect Ratio: Prevent image distortion
- • Quality Preservation: Use high-quality scaling algorithms
💡 Technical Tip:For complex PNG images, we use WebP as an intermediate format for "smart recompression," then convert back to PNG format. This achieves better compression while maintaining PNG compatibility.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will compression degrade image quality?
A: PNG compression primarily uses lossless compression technology. Light and medium compression produce virtually no visible quality loss. Heavy compression may have slight quality reduction but remains within acceptable limits.
Q: Will transparent backgrounds be preserved?
A: Yes, when outputting as PNG format, transparent backgrounds are perfectly preserved. Converting to JPG format will replace transparent areas with white background. WebP format also supports transparency.
Q: Which compression level is best?
A: Choose based on use case: light compression for high-quality printing, medium compression for web usage, heavy compression for thumbnails or fast-loading scenarios.
Q: Why do some images show minimal compression improvement?
A: Already highly optimized PNG files, simple graphics, or small images have limited compression potential. Try adjusting dimensions or converting formats for better results.
